Yes, this would be great, to add, or at least include in the documentation, because I'm not sure if the device id {idProduct}, and your manufacturer id {idVendor} will always be the same. I feel proud contributing to Spark. I have used Spark Core for a year, and I am waiting for my Photons to arrive.

This would be fairly straightforward to do with what we've already done with supporting multiple vendor/device IDs in preparation for the Photon. Perhaps we should add a prompt when the CLI detects linux, that allows the user to just "press y" to have udev perms added?

Or have a command like spark udev that allows you to enter your vendor and device ID and adds a udev rule from it.
